As linus says, if you need to use a debugger your code is too complicated

He works on Linux where he controls the whole stack down to the metal and I love that for him, but other people have to call library code, and them debug that if it doesn't work as they thought it would.

Well then obviously if you use libraries, your code is too complicated

Yep that's why I refuse to use standard libraries. It just makes my code too complicated...
